RENEGADE - Studies - Pearls - 55%
Renegade Rum Distillery is the latest project from the man behind the revival of Bruichladdich Single Malt whiskey from Islay and the Waterford Distillery based on the terroirs of Ireland: Mark Reynier . He chose Grenada because of its wide range of altitudes, microclimates and soils. In collaboration with CaneCo's agricultural partners, he was able to cultivate many varieties of sugar cane across the island on the different terroirs. Old and young, skilled or amateur, many Grenadians have learned new skills, mastered modern machinery, and turned parts of the island into high-quality sugarcane farms.
Pearls from the Etudes range is made from a variety called Yellow Lady (B89447) harvested between January 25 and 29, 2021 on the Grapefruit field at the Pearls farm, on the clay soil of Flats. The distillation took place on January 29 and 30, 2021 in a still. The rum was transferred into 11 first fill American oak barrels of 200 liters of Kelvin Cooperage (50%), 7 virgin American oak barrels of 200 liters of Kelvin Cooperage (32%) and 4 French oak barrels of 225 liters of Taransaud (18%). 6,000 bottles were produced.
More information is available on the Renegade website in the "CaneCode" section with the code listed on the back of the bottle.
